Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Matt Parcell has signed a new two-year deal with Hull KR which will keep him at the Super League club until the end of 2024.
The Queensland-born hooker, who joined Rovers in 2019, had been linked with a return to Australia but opted to stay after talks with the club’s new coach Willie Peters.
Parcell said: “The last couple of years have been quite tough with Covid and not seeing the family for a while.
“But after speaking to Willie (Peters) I was really excited by the chat and his vision for the team so that made my decision a lot easier.
“Since I’ve started at the club, it’s progressed a lot on and off the field. I think to continue to be part of that is brilliant.”
Peters was confirmed as the successor to the outgoing Tony Smith last week.
Parcell follows Kane Linnett and Elliot Minchella in committing his immediate future to the club.
